Competency assessment (for AEMT-2011 this includes NREMT exams) This is determined by the assigned course physician. At the BLS level (EMR/EMT) the course physician can delegate a designee to assess competency.

State Licensing

Submit a Transition Application and receive a new, updated license. New licenses will identify providers that have transitioned.

EMR, EMT, and Paramedic transition courses do not have a required exam associated with them. If the course physician uses an exam to determine competency, then they determine who gets access to that exam.

AEMTs must complete a Transition or Initial IEC course to get access to the NREMT written and practical exams.
